Personally, I think a Model 19, carry comp or not, is too large for an IWB but that's just me. Guys carry large guns all kinds of ways. Not my cup of tea.
I'd go with the Banshee because the straps are in front of and behind the revolver.
I have and have used IWBs up through 4" N frames. I currently limit that to 4" K frames due to weight - at 73, I just don't want to haul that much around any more.

To carry a K-Frame revolver of any model IWB I would strongly recommend an AIWB holster instead of 3-4 o'clock. OWB or cross-draw would be better, depending on the situations you intend to carry the gun in.
Actually I wouldn't use an IWB, except AIWB, for any type pistol, but this is only 80+ tears personal experience, what do I know!

Good luck finding any holster made for a 19 cary comp, short of a very custom model. That is one of the reasons I moved mine down the road, along with being too heavy for a 3” k frame.
Is yours a 2.5 or 3 inch model carry comp? MTR Custom Leather makes IWB holsters for both models.
My IWB choice was the A-3 for my 3.5 inch SW 4053, while my SIL opted for the A-1+ for a heavier model 19 4-inch. We both carry just in front of our hip bone on the strong hand side. Great quality, reasonable prices, and their holsters are molded to gun. Read the reviews.

I would check with Kramer. Price point is similar to Wright. Their horsehide makes for a much smoother draw carried IWB. Does not crush down like cowhide in my experience.
