I doubt there would be any difference related to the hammer design. You're assuming that a fully enclosed hammer design (such as the S&W 642) would be watertight. I wouldn't make that assumption.

I'd have greater concerns about the water in the barrel potentially causing issues... the bullet wouldn't be going too far anyway.
