In addition, GunBroker.com will auction CrossBreed Holsters' T-shirts. GunBroker.com also supports Breast Cancer Awareness & Research by donating $5 from the sale of each pink colored GunBroker.com t-shirt, tank top and cap year-round.

"Too many of us have seen the devastating impact of breast cancer on the women we love whether it be in our homes, our families, our friends or those we work with," said Don Hall, COO of GunBroker.com. "This is our 6th year in this fight and we truly appreciate such innovative companies as Springfield Armory and CrossBreed Holsters who have truly advanced our industry also help advance the awareness and research for Breast Cancer through this fundraising effort."

"Women are an important and growing segment of the Springfield Armory family of firearms owners," said Chad Dyer of Springfield Armory. "We are pleased to join GunBroker in being a powerful voice against breast cancer for them and for all those who face it."

"CrossBreed Holsters is proud to support GunBroker in their long-standing efforts to raise awareness and ultimately prevention of breast cancer," said Trent Cooper, General Manager of CrossBreed Holsters.
The latest addition to the Springfield Armory line of XD pistols, the XD-STM 9mm debuted at SHOT Show 2013 to rave reviews, one year after the introduction of the XD-STM .45 ACP. With a slim, single stack frame at only 1-in. wide, the XD-STM delivers all the high powered performance with superior control and comfort, without sacrificing important safety features. The design offers a single-position Picatinny rail, making this one of the only pistols of its size that can be accessorized with lights and lasers.

CrossBreed Holsters' industry changing SuperTuck® Deluxe is recognized as the most comfortable and secure IWB holster on the market today. The company offers both IWB & OWB holsters for the XD-STM 9mm and XD-STM .45. The SuperTuck Deluxe is available for right or left hand and comes in Cowhide Black or Horsehide Natural colors with an optional Combat Cut.

About Springfield Armory
The first name in American firearms, Springfield Armory® began when George Washington ordered its creation in 1777 to store revolutionary ammunition and gun carriages. In 1794 the armory began the manufacture of muskets for a young country. For the next 150 years, Springfield Armory® functioned as a supplier for every major American conflict as well as a "think tank" for new firearm concepts. After a brief closure from 1968 to 1974, a passionate family by the name of Reese rescued not only the name "Springfield Armory®," but the philosophy that drove it for centuries. With reverence for the legacy of the Armory, the Reese family resurrected the most historically significant designs produced by The Armory- M1 Garand, 1911-A1, M1A™ -and fueled by the same obsession for improved manufacturing techniques and cutting edge design that inspired the likes of John C. Garand, and John Browning. Today Springfield Armory continues to develop products that are loyal to its heritage while ensuring The Armory's future with such innovations as the category leading XD®, XD(M) ® and the game changing XD-S™ polymer pistols.
