Full description and what we offer
Randy Harris founded Harris Combative Strategies after spending 15 years as Suarez International's longest-serving staff instructor, where he taught over 200 classes across the eastern United States. He's been teaching Handgun Carry Permit classes in Tennessee since 1999 and holds certifications from Rangemaster (Master Firearms Instructor), the NRA (Pistol Instructor), and Glock (Factory Armorer).
Randy doesn't just teach marksmanship—he teaches fighting. He spent years working security in nightclubs, giving him practical experience in de-escalation, situational awareness, and understanding when to fight versus when to talk your way out. That real-world foundation shapes everything he teaches.
"I use competitive shooting as just a part of my overall regimen training for interpersonal conflict, not as the main reason for my training."
Randy competes at a high level and uses that to test his teaching. He's won multiple IDPA State Championships (Tennessee and Georgia Back Up Gun divisions, 2022), finished 5th at the 2023 IDPA World Championship in Master Back Up Gun, and has over 100 competition wins since 1999. He's also presented at the Rangemaster Tactical Conference and attended the 2023 Professional Trainers' Symposium.
His curriculum is built on training from the best in the business:
