I was just reminded of this while trying to install a new PL-259 on 9913 coax and actually pushed the center pin completely out of two new connectors before I shaved off some of the center conductor and made it work.  These weren't cheap connectors, either.  I've never had this problem with RG-8U or similar.

   There is a special "N" connector for 9913, I bought 2 at a HAMfest years ago for $6 each perhaps 
the special connectors that I bought for LMR-400-UF are "N" connector also. (I haven't used either 
kind yet.)
