Is there a hidden cubbyhole for pistol
I loved the space behind the display on my C7's for carrying my pistol. Is there similar space on the C8 that would work as well?

Nothing hidden. Console or glove box.

"I loved the space behind the display on my C7's..." Yeah, it was great until it jammed or stopped working... with no mechanical back-up (like the gas-door).

The lack of interior storage space in the C8 is a disappointment especially on road trips. I loved the space behind the seats in my C7 coupe. I guess that's what you give up for a mid engine sports car. The performance of the C8 more than makes up for this issue.

Under the arm works good. Wear a BH too if you prefer that when you get out of the car.

I agree with both of you! GM should have at least designed in a space for putting sun glasses, such as behind the bade of of the rear view mirror, and/or also leverage the spaces between the seats under the subwoofer grill to make some extra storage spaces. It's likely that their engineering efforts were needed on something else while trying to make the release schedule and this was overlooked or bumped down on the priority list.
Old school visor clip or case and in the glove I guess.

Really
Hang it from the visor. Concealed in plain sight.

Can't speak for other generations, but compared to my C6 the seats are narrower. My IWB holster was fine in the C6, not really an option in the C8. I'm still trying to find a solution, too.
