Thanks for the pointers, folks.
Yep, it looks like any life warranty is restricted to the US, so I think this is a purely academic point, now. Shame as it would have been a good fallback option.
I don't think I can legally ship any "strategic goods" as they call them outside the country, let alone the continent, without a specific services licence, which I lack...
All this means it that if I get this little snubbie, and it goes wrong, I'll just have to foot any bill through a gun-shop...
Oh well....
On a slight tangent, it is truly a shame that Taurus do not have a better after sales service, if the stories are accurate and are to be believed. Such a warranty would surely be a boon to any buyer. It seems people greatest worry, is not so much if their gu will fail, but rather if they will be able to get it fixed as promised...
