Almost all guns will shoot when wet; most will even shoot under water (yes I can put up videos to prove it). A gun getting wet for a few hours will work fine. Sorry you had a bad experience on my River (Comal) I don’t float, I just hang out at the wall after the first tube shoot. But you are right as the day goes on the drunks get worse. So is summer on the river.
Here is a Glock 19 Shooting underwater... the only reason is to show you all modern guns will work wet.

PS if you are at the river in the summer you will see the NBPD walking in the river with there guns completely underwater. No mods, nothing special, we put to much mystery into a basic design. Just clean and oil after the water.

Excellent point that I forgot to include.

A Glock is the perfect water sports gun, and was my choice for years of canoeing and kayaking. If it gets wet in fresh water, field strip it, blow water out of the obvious spots, and put it out in the sun for about 30 minutes. If it was in salt water, run lots of fresh water over and through the field stripped parts and proceed as above. Run an oiled patch over the metal parts, and you're good to go again. They're hard to beat for this purpose.
