Driver door hanging up - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

My 1995 pickup is not unlatching all the time from the interior. The interior driver side door handle goes the full range of motion then the latch will release from the striker. Since there is no adjustment in the arms of the system I plan to buy a new striker and latch.

Before I ordered the parts I thought I should ask the question if anyone else experienced this issue and if replacing these parts solved the problem ? Can anyone give me a lead on a vender with quality parts ?
Thanks

Prolly the inside handle is getting ready to break. The arm on the handle stretches, making you pull harder, eventually breaking.
