Have a PSA 223. The trigger seems a little gritty. is there a way to polish the unit to smooth it out.

You can try to polish all the mating surfaces but honestly I would just replace it with a different trigger.
For not much money the LaRue MBT isn't a bad upgrade. https://www.larue.com/category/parts-accessories/lower-parts/triggers/
If you are willing to spend the money I always recommend the Geissele SSA-E for a component trigger or the Trigger Tech if you want a drop-in.

I like PSAs EPT for about 40 bucks it's a nice upgrade from the standard mil-spec
Did you buy it as a complete lower/firearm or did you assemble it yourself?
Either way you can put a little grease on the trigger, hammer and sear to see if that helps. Most will recommend a dap of grease on those areas anyways when assembling yourself.
Now with the PSA mil-spec triggers, I can't say if they are fully hardened through out or just case hardened. IF only case hardened then you can possibly remove enough material with a file or stone to get below the hardened surface which can lead to problems.

I run both the Schmidt 2 stage and two PSA EPTs.
For the money both have been great triggers without getting into Geissele or Hiperfire money, which I also have a few of.
ARs are one of the few platforms that have nice trigger options for cheap, IMHO not worth the time to polish a cheap FCG unless you just want the practice. My EPTs are from way back when they first came out and shine like a mirror, I couldn't hand polish that nice.
Some of my builds run surplus 7.62x39 or 7n6 and for those I like to run heavier hammer springs which ruin a good single stage but barely make a difference in a 2 stage.

my 9mm PSA came from the factory with the EPT trigger but it was 7.5lb pull. installed the JP springs and it went to just under 5lb.

No polishing trouble. LRT or any of the Schmidt variants will do the trick.
