A tactical gear holder for securely retaining tactical gear comprising a body having a lower end, an upper end opposing the lower end and defining an upper aperture sized to receive an article of tactical gear, a rear sidewall defining an adjustment aperture and having an outer rear side surface and an inner rear side surface, a front sidewall, a left sidewall, and a right sidewall, and a body cavity sized to receive articles of tactical gear. The tactical gear holder further comprises an internal gear retention member, a first portion, and a distal free end operably configured to selectively translate, independent of the first portion of the internal gear retention member, within the body cavity through rotation of a set screw disposed within the adjustment aperture, thereby biasing the article of tactical gear within the body cavity and against the outer retainer surface and the inner front side surface.
