Any advice for mirror tele lens?

I know that mirror tele lenses are somewhat "special" - full manual, outlandish bokeh etc.

Nevertheless I'm toying with the idea to buy one - for its long reach in a compact format.

I found offers for Dörr Danubia 500mm f6,3 as well as 900mm f8 and TS-Optics Maksutov 1000mm f10 (some clone of the original I guess); all T2 to be adapted to K.

Has anyone experience with one of these? Is it possible to use the 500 mm handheld on K3III? (for 900 or  1000 I would use a tripod, I think)
