For me, lack of flexibility is a major disadvantage, mainly due to the solid center conductor. I'm also not fond of the (typically) aluminum shields. I'll use stranded RG59 with a copper braid shield, then terminate with soldered RCA plugs. Otherwise the most practical termination is an F-connector and F-connector to RCA adapter, but this is too much of a Rube Goldberg arrangement.
Why not put compression RCA ends directly on the RG59? Is this a problem with a solid center conductor?
