There are a number of things that affect how comfortable and concealable a firearm is and the thickness is a big factor on comfort. The length of the grip affects how much it prints.
Another important factor is the holster, there are some really nice iwb holsters like the stealth core vent core if you want to save yourself the trouble of trying 10 different Holsters and go straight for a good one. It's expensive but worth it.
Another overlooked part of the comfort is the belt, I have a Hanks steel core belt and it makes a big difference keeping a firearm on your hip without sagging causing discomfort. Big foot makes a less expensive steel core belt if you are on a budget, the Hanks belt is $100 but also has lifetime warranty.
Not only is the belt important for comfort and keeping the firearm where you want it but it makes sure you can actually draw firearm if you need it. A saggy belt will pull up with your draw and sometimes keep the gun from releasing since the energy doesn't transfer properly into the holster.
