That's why I'm a glock fan. I bought my first one, a trade in 27 that was a bargain at 400 bucks at the time, around 04 as a beater/ carry gun. Now days I can get one cheaper. Then I kept buying Glocks. They have been in the river for hours wading. Rock climbing, and spelunking as well. I went fishing once wearing my delta elite and slipped on a rock and made a hell of a place on the slide. After that.....Glock.
If I know for a fact that I'll be crawling in mud, rocks, swamps or anything else nasty, these days I'll have my light bearing Glock 22. Talon grips (although water or possibly salt water seems to attack the adhesive) and a set of maritime spring cups its the perfect abuse gun. (I have had one light fail but the replacement has been fine so far. I fully expect it to fail too. The switches can't handle submersion all that well) I'm not sure the spring cups are necessary but why not. I once needed to shoot a lock off a gate during a flood that made it underwater. I used that old glock 27 with regular spring cups and it functioned fine underwater although it didnt really damage the lock at all. Eventually had to winch the post out of the ground. Dumb Hollywood.......
If I'm in the woods or fencing all day I have my 329pd as my beater. I'd prefer not to be crawling around on it, mostly because of the holster, but when I want 44 power, that's my other beater.
