Best way to carry handgun in kayak?

I just paddled this morning with a j-frame tucked into the pocket of my PFD, in a High Noon pocket holster. I've thought a few times about sewing a velcro patch inside the PFD, and using it to attach a nylon holster (positioned in front of my chest), but the pocket works fine.
 
Guys,
Thanks again for all the comments. I also wear an Extrasport vest with a pocket - I haven't tried to see if my guns (or maybe the new Taurus compact .40 I plan to buy) will fit in the vest pocket, but that's definately worth considering.

Thanks also for the links and suggestions of places to buy waterproof containers (some look very interesting - for the gun and/or other stuff).

Finally, I think its interesting that so many seem to favor revolvers. I would think a stainless semi-auto would be a better choice where a complete dunking is likely (especially in a PFD pocket - I sometimes wind up in the water even if my boat doesn't go over - helping someone else, taking a swim, etc.). While I'm sure the stainless J-frames are very corrosion resistant, it also seems like water would get inside and be difficult to dry out compared with a semi-auto that disassembles so easily. Is this an issue? I have a S&W Scanium .357 J-frame, but haven't taken it on the water before.

Doug
