Not oddball in EU, nor expensive. Good quality ones are available from Kabel-Kusch in Germany and Barenco in UK: http://www.barenco.co.uk/uhf-line-socket-so239-jacks-rg213-clamp-top-hat-compression-body-solder-pin-165425. China RF do some good ones via Fleabay too. We use these extensively in our 6Gs DXpeditions, together with compression type PL259s. A side benefit is that it's easy to terminate the coax feed from multiple station in female connectors (forming a 'patch panel' in effect) so there is zero risk of cross-coupling 2 stations. My own station has mostly been converted to compression types; but there are Amphenols in there too. Motivation to change? Ease of waterproofing the compression types.
