2x…and add to that no flat spot at 6 o clock on the forcing cone, full length ejector rod, and a ported muzzle. I’m in.
If you look at compensators on competition handguns, you will find the prevailing design to be like the K-Comp: a large open port on the top.
I don't have the engineering background to explain why the large open port is more effective on handguns, but if it wasn't I'm guessing it wouldn't be the type most used on competition handguns. As far as I'm aware, all of S&Ws "Comp" revolvers have used this design.
There were a few PC revolvers with Mag-na-port style ports at 11 and 1, but I don't recall those being marketed as "X-Comp".

OP
I can't think of a single competition pistol with just one large carry comp / L-comp style top port. May I ask what competition guns you have in mind? Thanks!
What about the 627 and 629 V-Comp?

OP
They should do carry comp and L-comp versions with the porting used on the 629 Stealth Hunter. Maximum sight radius and less prone to collect stuff in the port(s).
Maybe I should have said "port(s)".
See above.
The point was that you rarely see 11/1 mag-na-port style ports on competition guns. The prevailing design is for vertical ports, though some do have smaller side ports in addition.
The 19-9 and 66-8 were redesigned, the forward cylinder lock is a ball detent in the crane instead of locking the end of the ejector rod.
Agreed Kaaskop. I can't stand looking at that front sight not being at the front of the barrel. It makes me think, "What were they thinking?
No, it's brand new. Using my brave browser, the site lists them in the L frame section. You have to select the PC 19 and there is a "configure" button.
Assuming you can find any K or L frame, you're not finding the one you want at you local ffl.
13323 is the product number for the 2.5" M19 Carry Comp.
There's a few online vendors that show it in stock, but it's unlikely they actually have them.
