Clearing up the picture a bit..
I'm pretty sure the 232 is DA/SA, not SAO.
Safety: Automatic firing pin lock, decocking lever,safety intercept notch, trigger bar disconnector
*Yes, it is quite safe for pocket carry with the safety/decocker on...
**Flip the safety and pull the trigger, bang.
...
*Slight correction..
**
IF the P232 380 is the same type I once owned, DA/SA *decocker-only (no safety) and one chambers one then decocks, putting gun back into 10lb DA pull (hammer down safely), there is ** no flip the safety, they don't have one.
As the decocker springs back up and one has, merely, a full 10lb DA pull/shot or, if one wants, thumb-cock hammer back into SA mode with 4.5.lb SA pulls for 8, or 7, shots depending on max load or standard load with mags that hold 7 rounds in single stack mode.

The not so good IMO:
Nice guns, but blow-back action is dirty and one, least mine, needs to dissemble, clean, totally, and reassemble them at, or before, 200 - 230 total shots fired, per (in-between) total cleanings, or, again, my ex 232 SL, would jam, guaranteed, after the first shot with max load 7+1 with JHP's or with standard load one chambered, 6 left in the mag, between the 2nd and third shots, of JHP's, per mag, every time there on, until "totally" cleaned. And that included interior walls of mags, as well.
The spent, dirty, blow-back action, powder got into everything, quickly, namely on the feed ramp and first 1/3rd of the mag interior walls and follower face, not to mention it mixing with the oiled rails, etc., and after the gun cooled down, it thickened up into a gooey mess, no joy, quickly.
Mine was from NIB thru 1450 rounds, and nothing but new WWB or Federal ammo, fyi, then sold it.
OMMV,
